Provisioning with Paprika App

October 13, 2019 Leave a Comment

We are, fingers crossed, leaving for Mexico next weekend. The truck, marvelous beast that it has been, is delaying us. It did not pass emissions and we feel it would sell faster if it did. So the mechanic will see us Wednesday and then we will leave the truck in Santa Cruz for family members […]

Heading South

October 9, 2019 2 Comments

We have been preparing to go cruising for 22 months – ever since we bought Eurybia after sailing south from Seattle in 2017 in Phoenix. Or for 27 months since we moved aboard full-time. Or you could say that we’ve been preparing for cruising since we came back from Hawaii in 2008 after our “shake-down” […]

On the Hook at Pillar Point

September 3, 2019 Leave a Comment

After way more than a year refitting Eurybia we have finally moved on. Not far and not fast, but surely you’re expecting that by now? On Sunday Sept 1, smack dab in the middle of Labor day festivities we left our marina in San Francisco Bay at 6 am on a very foggy day. Our […]

Leaving SF Bay

September 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

We left Richmond, CA in San Francisco Bay at 600 in thick fog and arrived safely in Pillar Point on Half Moon Bay at 1315 and anchored in lovely sunlight. We were in fog the whole way down – quite scary to go under the Golden Gate Bridge seeing only an occasional glimpse of the […]
